Описание: This book describes specific, well-know controversies in the genetic modification debate and connects them to deeper philosophical issues in philosophy of technology. It contributes to the current, far-reaching deliberations about the future of food, agriculture and society. Controversies over so-called Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) regularly appear in the press. The biotechnology debate has settled into a long-term philosophical dispute. The discussion goes much deeper than the initial empirical questions about whether or not GM food and crops are safe for human consumption or pose environmental harms that dominated news reports. In fact, the implications of this debate extend beyond the sphere of food and agriculture to encompass the general role of science and technology in society. The GM controversy provides an occasion to explore important issues in philosophy of technology. Researchers, teachers and students interested in agricultural biotechnology, philosophy of technology and the future of food and agriculture will find this exploration timely and thought provoking.

Описание: Over the past decade the importance of natural resources for sustainable agricultural development has been increasingly discussed at international forums and conferences. The discussion on conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA), however, has to reflect the costs of conservation as well.
Описание: This book describes how the latest genomic resources techniques can be efficiently used in plant breeding programmes to achieve food security in the future.

Описание:
So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being. So begins Good Enough to Eat?, which challenges Kafka's culinary sentiments and proceeds to unravel our complex and deeply personal relationship with food.
Including interviews from both sides of the (farmyard) fence; from biologists to farmers and nutritionists to activists, Good Enough to Eat? charts the history of GM foods from the laboratory to the global dinner plate. Equally informative and entertaining, Godwin chronicles the social, political and philosophical arguments for and against GM crops, and the science and knowledge behind the battle for global food security and sustainability.

Описание: This volume is the first of a series concerning a new tech- nology which is revolutionizing the study of biology, perhaps as profoundly as the discovery of the gene. As pointed out in the introductory chapter, we look forward to the future impact of the technology, but cannot see where it might take us. The purpose of these volumes is to follow closely the explosion of new tech- niques and information that is occurring as a result of the newly- acquired ability to make particular kinds of precise cuts in DNA molecules. Thus we are particularly committed to rapid publication. Jane K. Setlow Alexander Hollaender v INTRODUCTION AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND 1 Maxine F.

Описание: Genetic and genomic research has and will continue to have fundamental impact on the future of plant breeding. Cereals are the crops with the highest impact worldwide, providing more than 50% of the calories of human mankind. Given projected population growth in the next decades, the challenges of global climate change, and the growing demand for qualitatively high feed for our animals, cereal scientists and cereal breeders have to provide big efforts for the years to come. . . Applications of Genetic and Genomic Research in Cereals reviews the contributions of genetics and genomics to cultivar development that are already implemented and will become even more important in the next decade. . . This book focuses on cereals grown in temperate regions, mainly bread wheat, durum wheat, and barley, but will cover also breeding aspects in triticale and rye. Split into three main parts Applications of Genetic and Genomic Research in Cereals covers the outreach of these new techniques for practical breeding in a first part, as well as covering genetic and genomic approaches for improving special traits - drought tolerance, biotic stress, biomass production and more in the second part. The final part discusses the impact of modern techniques on practical breeding including hybrid breeding, genetic diversity, genomic selection. . Written by an international team of top acadmics and edited by an expert in the field Applications of Genetic and Genomic Research in Cereals will be of value to academics working in the agricultural sciences the book will also be essential reading for professionals working in plant breeding.
